That could be OK as a test but as a long term solution it looks a bit
dodgy--what happens if the MoveFile fails, or if the process is killed
between Delete and MoveFile, does the destination disappear?
Subversion relies on an Atomic rename, if you delete the destination
and then fail to complete the rename the working copy is likely to be
broken. I wonder if simply trying MoveFileEx again would do the
trick?

Has anyone asked Microsoft about this? I've been told their developer
support is pretty good, although I have never used it myself.
